She sure didn't waste any time before dancing on the bodies of the dead Virginia Tech students and professors!

Read the whole bill. So far there are no co-sponsors but it is only a day old.

And they laugh at me for buying rail cars full of magazines.

 

[Ratzinger_p38]

Wha? Doesnt this largely overlap HR1022?

Ugh this one is just as bad..

 

[El Tejon]

Rat, yes, it is a subset of 1022. The Dems want to ban something and it will be easier to get the magazines before they can get the guns in 2009.

THR mocked me for "panic buying" but all I'm doing is reading the tea leaves.

 

[Ratzinger_p38]

Im afraid I dont totally get it. Is it the old definition? Anything above 10 right?
I hope to god they dont try some 5 round thing like Canada has (every gun I own cept my K98 would be in violation)

God this will hurt me getting my M1 carbine mags when the new ones from CMP come in in a few months :*(

Chances of this going through? Low? please. M1 carbine mags

 

[FieroCDSP]

I think McCarthy has all of these "subsection xx.xxx" lines on some kind of random Bill generator. There's no way she could crank that out that quick. Maybe she's got a bunch lined up in a file-folder for a rainy day. That or she stays up all night, every night, dreaming of ways to screw the general public.

Regardless, we need to inform the general public that the cops can't help them, so they have to help themselves.

Not me I agree with you completely but unfortunately I don't have the money to buy lots of magazines.

What do you suggest I get an AK and magazines or a GLOCK and some magazines?

I was going to get an AK but because all cheap ammo is imported I don't know if I'll be able to stock up enough just in case they ban imports.

 

[vis-à-vis]

Vote and explain why this bill is stupid: http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html

 

[Titan6]

Perfectly reasonable gun legislation given the circumstances that our college campus are now free fire zones. If only we had this law passed yesterday all the senseless violence could have been prevented.

I hate being right all the time....

 

[MEH]

:banghead: I hate gun control!

 

[azredhawk44]

I just bought half a dozen new M14 mags.

I am building an Armscorp M14 from a bare receiver to go alongside my Springfield M1A and I want enough mags for an outing with both rifles... it's gonna be a year before I complete the receiver build but I want to make sure I have the appropriate mags right now.

I may stop off and pick up a new magazine for my XD9 on the way home... I have 3 already. I figure that if I need more than 3 mags, I should have been looking for a rifle (see above). I don't see 1911 mags being affected by this and I already have 5 of those, but that may make my "to get" list soon too.

I also joined the Arizona Citizens Defense League. I'm already with the NRA. GOA membership coming up, I guess. I'd just donate more money to the NRA, but I don't trust them to look out for my interests after Parker.

 

[Ratzinger_p38]

On the bright side, this might kill HR1022 for now. Let's hope this gets shot down, the anti climate is not as high as it was in 94 (after this shooting I am not sure about that though).

 

[longeyes]

It's gun-grabber boiler plate. They have this rubbish in their briefcases and computers ready to adjust to the news.

 

[Long Knife]

I don't know if I'm paranoid or not but I'm done talking about what I have and what I'm getting for awhile. I don't trust the SOB's.

 

[Ridgeway]

I think we need to clarify what date for legal v. not legal mags this law uses before we all start stocking up in despair.

I'd hate to spend alot on LEO marked mags with 10/94 on them only to have to get rid of them. Not to mention Glock LEO mags w/no date...

 

[Ratzinger_p38]

can someone explain the law ? They make it sound like you cant make the peices that hold the mags, but not the mags themselves. Like McCarthy's usual crap this is not that readable.

All I want is to be able to get some G43, SVT40 (both 10 and under) as well as the 15 rd m1 carbine mags...If she screws it all up for me I will be ticked.

 

[Autolycus]

I am tired of this garbage. We dont need more gun control. So far it has proven inneffective.

 

[esheato]

*sigh*

I have nothing positive to say..

[Skirmisher]

Throughout world history, "Gun Control" in any country has never stopped massacres, it has only enabled them.:banghead:

 

[Caimlas]

What an ignorant woman. You can't have a "large capacity" magazine - unless your bullets and loaded cartridges themselves are individually large.

On the bill itself: don't say you didn't know it was coming. It'll likely pass with the same speed that the Patriot Act did, too. I'm not a skeptic, I'm just being realistic based on past experience.

 

[Caimlas]

I am tired of this garbage. We dont need more gun control. So far it has proven inneffective.

You're working off the premise that the aim of gun control is to stop criminal violence. It isn't. It's to enable the elite in power (and those who vote such measures up do think they're the elite, cream of the crop) a method of denying power to the populace, putting control more firmly in their own hands. Violent killings like the most recent one on the VT campus only provide more ammunition through which they are able to exercise even further control.

 

[helpless]

I am going to start stocking up on butter knives.

 

[El Tejon]

Ridgeway, what's makes you believe people will comply with such a law?

 

[SWMAN]

Passing a so-called high capacity limitation bill wouldn't have prevented killing 32 people. Instead of using 15 round mags, you use a few more 10 rounders. When all your victims are unarmed and locked in the building and room where the killer murders his victims, magazine capacity doesn't matter. Like shooting fish in a bowl.

 

[Smokehouse]

Don't let this bill get off the ground!

Write! Call! E-mail your congressman. Make some noise. We have to be heard above the din of the MSM's propaganda. And then arm yourselves, and prepare.
